Dastan Ensemble with Madhieh Mohammadkhani; Ice music from Norway; Wu Man

Today we will hear a wonderful recent album featuring my favourite Persian ensemble, the innovative, virtuoso Dastan Ensemble with the young singer Mahdieh Mohammadkhani in a piece composed by Dastan's Hamid Motebassem entitled "A Window". Like many of Dastan's works, this suite features extensive and rich instrumental writing. It is based on a poem by Forough Farrokhzad, a 20th century Iranian poet who died tragically in a car accident in 1967 aged only 32. We will also hear some music from Terje Isungset who plays only on instruments made of ice, and founder of the annual Ice Music Festival in his hometown of Geilo, Norway. The 11th edition begins today. If you happen to be in Norway this weekend: www.icemusicfestival.no
